"should be."
Silver lowered his head, his voice somewhat somber, and said, "I'm sorry... I couldn't fulfill your request to bring Alpha..."
"We'll talk about that later."
Fan Xiao interrupted his junior sister, his tone becoming more serious, and said, "Tell me the details of your battle with Gu Hange, from beginning to end, in order, without missing anything."
"...You consider her an enemy?" Yin asked unexpectedly.
"Well... it's hard to say for now," Fan Xiao said. "But in any case, it's always good to know yourself and your enemy. Let's analyze her abilities first."
Upon hearing this, Yin organized his thoughts and recounted the entire battle from beginning to end.
He also included some of his own speculations.
Before they knew it, Yan Keke and Himuro Rui had also arrived.
Yin then recounted the battle to them.
After listening, everyone looked at Fan Xiao, who was deep in thought.
Yin broke the silence and asked, "What do you think?"
"She should also possess A-level psionic abilities, and this ability is capable of interfering with the conceptual level."
While pondering, Fan Xiao said, "If the Silver Court were placed in the material world, its auxiliary effects would be unparalleled."
"What it does is not time stop, but rather inserts fake activity time into the main timeline in advance, during which the main timeline remains unchanged and without any abnormalities."
"Even before you overwrite reality, you won't interfere with others in the slightest. There's no such thing as 'confrontation,' so the enemy naturally can't disable your psionic abilities in a so-called power struggle."
This is what makes the Silver Garden special and invincible.
The key is the "first-mover advantage," not how resilient one is when facing a confrontation.
Even when facing a true time-stopping ability user, the Silver Court can activate itself first by relying on its conceptual sense of crisis when the opponent attacks. Moreover, the Silver Court does not change the flow of time on the main timeline. What it creates is not time stop, but a false spacetime that belongs to itself.
Therefore, as long as reality is not overwritten, players will not be able to detect that this psionic energy has been activated, let alone fight against it and disable it.
Fan Xiao continued, "Your abilities shouldn't malfunction in theory. There's only one possibility for this to happen—there's a problem with the conceptual domain!"
“Psionic energy is a product of the connection and combination of concepts and human spirit. If... well, if the conceptual rules in the area you were in at the time were in an abnormal state, and the source was in trouble, it would naturally affect the effect of psionic energy.”
"Furthermore, you mentioned that all your items are unusable except when the Silver Garden is activated... This proves that it's not just the concept of the Silver Garden that's affected."
At this point, he came to a new conclusion: "It seems that props are also related to the conceptual level, or rather... to psionic energy."
"This...is there really such an overpowered ability?" Yan Keke, standing next to Fan Xiao, exclaimed in surprise, "It prevents others from using their abilities, but allows the user to use them?"
"Gu Hange himself probably can't use props either."
Fan Xiao said, "Based on the strength she showed, she is most likely an A-level player and probably possesses quite a few A-level items, but the attack methods she displayed were very limited... I guess that in that situation, she only used her spiritual energy when she attacked."
"The surrounding temperature dropped, and frost appeared, but she emitted a very strong heat reaction, and her hair turned deep red..."
He began to ponder. There were actually many possibilities; some simple abilities that could create warmth or cold could achieve the same effect. However, the low and high temperatures created by Gu Hange weren't part of her attack. She couldn't possibly be doing it just to show off, could she? After ruling out the possibility that "she did it intentionally," the temperature changes might simply be a natural reaction when she used her abilities, like an apple falling to the ground under gravity—it's a natural law, without any personal intention interfering.
If Gu Hange wasn't intentionally creating frost and her own high temperature, then... it's highly likely that the heat from the surrounding environment flowed towards her, reducing the thermal motion of nearby molecules and causing a sudden drop in temperature. She, in turn, absorbed the heat, causing her temperature to rise... The transfer of heat according to temperature difference is most easily associated with the second law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, considering that Gu Hange likely possesses high-level spiritual energy, the underlying concepts must be grand and imposing, and the deathly stillness of the dark domain she releases...
"The second law of thermodynamics... a pitch-black, deathly silent realm... not a simple concept... could it be entropy increase? Did the entropy in that environment increase at that time?"
Fan Xiao gradually pinpointed a phenomenon.
He followed this guess and found that many details matched up.
When we talk about entropy increase, we inevitably think of one of the possible outcomes of the universe based on this rule—the Great Heat Death.
Since all energy has been converted into heat, the universe has reached a thermal equilibrium, and the temperature in every part of the universe has become the same.
Within a single system, entropy increase is irreversible; heat can only be transferred from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object, and it is impossible for the reverse to occur. Otherwise, a perpetual motion machine of the second kind would have been created long ago.
Equivalent heat means that the conversion and activity of energy will disappear.
If we consider the universe as a single system, once the entropy reaches its maximum and thermal equilibrium is reached, there will be no more energy interaction, and then... everything will return to complete stillness.
The black, deathly aura that Gu Hange released... seems to have an effect similar to heat death?
Even light energy has been converted into heat, so there is no longer any light, only deep darkness.
Of course, there is a difference between concepts and reality, and Gu Hange's attack should not be regarded as a simple heat death.
However, we can use entropy increase as a reference point to speculate on the nature of her psychic powers.
After some thought, Fan Xiao concluded: "Everything will eventually move from order to chaos and disorder; this is the increase of entropy. The concept represented by Gu Hange's spiritual energy, if nothing unexpected happens, should be chaos and disorder."
"She created a disordered realm at the conceptual level, affecting the orderly operation of other conceptual rules nearby and silencing the use of other players' psionic powers and items."
"But her own psychic energy is based on the concepts of chaos and disorder, so she can still use it. As for items... she shouldn't be able to use them in that state."
"Brother Fan, isn't this a bit too unfair?" Yan Keke asked, "She can't use other people's abilities, but she can... Doesn't that disrupt the balance a bit?"
Disrupting the balance? Then you should really see S-class psionic power... Fan Xiao replied, "Other psionic powers aren't unusable, they're just not working smoothly, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. This is a collision between 'disorder' and other concepts; whoever's concept occupies the higher position naturally has the greater advantage."
"Disorder... that is, the increase of entropy, is one of the main themes of the universe. The concept behind it is naturally incomparable to other rules, so it is normal for it to have this effect."
"Fortunately, her psionic nature is only a secondary concept under the larger concept of 'entropy increase'."
"If she could control the entropy itself at the source, and make entropy increase or decrease at her will, she could probably even turn back time."
Gu Hange's concept of psychic energy should not be entropy increase, but rather a part of entropy increase.
Otherwise... with the Silver Court ineffective, she could simply maximize the entropy of the silver and kill it instantly, without needing to perform any fancy attack methods.
Do you have a way to deal with this ability?
Yin, who was deep in thought, saw Fan Xiao stop talking and asked a question.
"Don't worry," Fan Xiao said with a smile, "My talent is just right to counteract my older sister's personality."
The pitch-black domain released by Gu Hange is equivalent to an instant-death attack, and its strength is undeniable, but it has a flaw—it has a physical form.
As long as it has a physical form, the little angel can cut it down and make it disappear with a single strike.
As for the disordered domain that causes talents to malfunction... the little angel appears to have an A-level talent, but in reality, it is a fragment of S-level psionic energy.
Gu Hange's disordered domain should not be able to shake the concept represented by the Angel of Slaughter.
More than these two "ultimate moves," he was worried about Gu Hange using an A-grade item...
Wait a minute! Isn't Gu Hange his sister?
Why did you immediately think of attacking and confronting them?
Fan Xiao re-examined himself.
At this moment, Silver continued, "It's good that you have confidence. Her psychic power... is too much of a counter to me. No, it's not just me who's countered."
"By the way, she probably captured Alpha to lure you over, right? I don't think she has any ill intentions towards that idiot."
"She's your sister, you'll definitely go to see her, why would she go through all that trouble?"
“You’ve dealt with her,” Fan Xiao said. “What do you think? Give me your opinion.”
"She... she has some mental issues, just like you said, she seems to have a mental illness."
Yin Xin bluntly said, "I revealed her identity, which was a hint that I knew you. But... not only did she not stop, her killing intent towards me intensified, and her attacks became even more ruthless."
"Doesn't it seem like a pervert?" Fan Xiao asked.
“…A little.” Yin nodded.
These were said by Fan Xiao!
It wasn't her taking the opportunity to insult her sister!
"You said she's a pervert, so why should I go looking for her?" Fan Xiao pouted.
"Aren't you a pervert too?" Silver reminded him.
"..."
That's really hard to refute... Fan Xiao said, "My older sister is too controlling. A long time ago, when I was still a teenager, I was more innocent and pure-hearted..."
Noticing the subtle glances exchanged by Yin, Yan Keke, and the others, he coughed and stated his conclusion directly: "In short, I always thought Gu Hange was a good older sister and treated her as family."
"People always grow up; it's impossible to stay innocent and pure forever."
"Now that I'm this old, I'm sure I can examine my past memories correctly from an outsider's perspective, see through the fog, and recognize Gu Hange's true nature."
He paused, then shook his head and said, "Gu Hange is very smart; he must have thought of that too."
"Once I regain my memories, it's unlikely I'll go looking for her... at least not until I'm stronger enough."
"Once she guesses this, she will definitely take some action to force me to see her."
"That's probably why she kept Alpha."
At this point, he sighed softly and said, "What is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be."
“Even if you rescue Alpha, she can come directly to the G08 node, to my 010 partition, which is also her hometown.”
“Here, she can imprison any of my relatives and force me to show myself.”
"This...isn't there no solution?" Yin frowned.
"Don't worry, at most she'll just grab people, she won't hurt anyone... um, I mean she won't hurt my family."
Fan Xiao said, "My family is also her family; she values family very much."
“In that case,” Yin suggested, “you can go out and hide for a while and ignore her.”
"Do not."
Fan Xiao shook his head: "Although she won't hurt people, she will restrict personal freedom and do other things that aren't too excessive but are still disgusting."
"Anyway, the peaceful lives of those she catches will definitely be disrupted."
"If possible, I don't want the players' issues to affect my ordinary relatives and friends."
"Meeting her is unavoidable."
"Dr. Guang Zhuang alone is already difficult to deal with, and now your sister has come along..."
Yin asked again, "Are you sure... you really want to see her?"
"If she wants to see me, then let her see me," Fan Xiao said nonchalantly. "I'm not all alone. When I go to see her, I'll definitely take precautions."
“…Pervert!” Yin snorted coldly.
"abnormal?"
Fan Xiao was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and said with a speechless expression, "Wait, what are you thinking? The insurance measures I mentioned don't refer to items, they refer to people! I'll also be bringing an A-level player to see her."
Is my junior sister really this lewd?
The moment he mentioned insurance measures, he actually thought of that... I was speechless.
"I think an average A-level player wouldn't be a match for your sister."
Yin recalled the previous battle and gave a serious reminder.
Gu Hange is definitely not an ordinary A-level player!
"rest assured."
Fan Xiao said confidently, "The A-level player I mentioned is no ordinary person. Your senior sister, Yu Xuezhao—she is our strong ally."
"Yu Xue Zhao?" Yin had heard of her senior sister more than once, and asked curiously, "Is she very strong?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her take a serious stance," Fan Xiao said. "However, I will inform her of my guesses about Gu Hange's abilities. She will definitely be able to judge the odds of winning and decide whether or not to take action."
"Don't forget, there's also Dr. Zhuang," Yin reminded him.
"Hmm... There's one more person to deal with now, so there's definitely a gap in my original plan for combat confrontation..."
Fan Xiao sighed and said, "It seems we'll have to find a strong outside help. We'll see if your senior sister can call someone over."
"As for Alpha, there's no need to worry for now; she should be safe."
“My sister and Dr. Zhuang are definitely not on the same path.”
“I was worried that her memory might be damaged, which might cause her to stand against me. But now… she has awakened a psychic ability that can nullify A-level psychic energy, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“I think you should worry,” Yin kindly reminded her. “She seems very abnormal, and she even said she would punish you.”
Fan Xiao: "..."
He recalled the fear of being dominated by his unscrupulous older sister in the past.
